Explore
The first word of this blog is ‘explore’ because it is an activity I have always loved - mainly in the virtual world of videogames when I was a child, and now in the real world as an adult.
So last month, one night while coming back from work I randomly got the idea to try to run a trail I found on Wikiloc which connects 2 towns by going through the woods and up and down a few peaks. It was a nice challenge for my current trail running level, and somewhat weird to arrive in the city at lunch hour, while students and working-age adults were out and around, as I was finishing this strange microadventure before going to work.
Races are nice and the atmosphere definitely helps to push oneself more and in a safer manner - but this kind of solo adventures are definitely what I am more interested in, and I am looking forward to doing more of them (and longer ones, as my training level increases)
